Girls, good afternoon. Can anyone who has gone through a divorce advise me, please? I don't know what to do; I want to divorce my husband, but we have a 6-month-old baby at home, and I'm really worried about how the little one will handle the constant absence of his father. Or is this age the easiest for children to cope with divorce? My husband doesn't want a divorce, but honestly, I'm exhausted. He lives his life, and the baby and I live ours. How do I even start a conversation about divorce with my spouse? I know he won't be supportive. We've already started talking about it once; I shared my concerns and what I wanted to see, but nothing has changed since then. Now I've decided to definitely go through with the divorce, but how do I start this dialogue with my husband? How will the baby handle it?

Good day! Divorce is always a difficult decision, especially when there are children involved. It's important to remember that children are very sensitive to changes in the family, including the divorce of their parents. However, each child is unique, and it's impossible to say exactly how your little one will handle the divorce. If you have decided to go through with the divorce, it's important to start the conversation with your husband honestly and openly. Try to first express your feelings and thoughts, explain why you have made this decision. Try to listen to his point of view and understand his side. Perhaps discussing the situation with a family psychologist or counselor can help both of you better understand the situation and make a decision. Regarding the child, it's important to create a supportive and stable environment for them. Explain to them that both you and your husband will love and care for them regardless of whether you live together or separately. Support and love from both parents will help the child cope with the divorce more easily. Remember, divorce is not the end of the world, but a new stage in your life. It's important to be honest and care for the well-being of all family members, including the child. Good luck to you during this difficult period!

Regarding the baby, I think at such a young age he doesn't have any attachment to other family members except for the mother. He only needs you right now. It's unlikely that the child will understand anything or, moreover, be upset. As for how to start, I don't have experience, but I would just directly say "I want a divorce," and then everything will follow from there.

Just say that you want a divorce. Go to court and file for divorce, child support, and maintenance for yourself until the child turns three. The court has sample applications. Pay the state duty; the court also has the details and how much you need to pay. They won't divorce you the first time if the other party disagrees, it might take a second or third attempt.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I also had the desire to divorce and this feeling of "he lives his life and we live ours" when my son was younger. It could be hormones or maternity leave affecting you. We separated and got back together twice like that. When I stopped breastfeeding and my son became a bit more independent, everything normalized with us. So, I would advise you to think it over carefully.

The first year of stress for a woman is tough both morally and physically, you feel exhausted and it seems like everyone is against you, and everyone is against you. If everything was fine with your husband before the baby arrived, it's just your emotional state! You need to wait until the moment the child grows up a bit and goes to kindergarten, and you go back to work! Everything will change! All the best!

If the husband doesn't want a divorce, it means he loves you. Maybe you need to look at the whole situation from a different perspective, and you will understand that it actually helps...!
